Project call "Get off the sofa!"

Start your project

Are you tired of waiting for something to happen and would rather take the initiative yourself? Whether
it’s climate action, cultural projects, art, sports, or social issues—we support your ideas so you can make a difference in your community, celebrate diversity, and strengthen social cohesion.

Are you young people between the ages of 12 and 27 from a rural area of Saxony? Then get in touch with us. We’ll help you plan your projects and be there to support you if you run into any problems. If your idea is selected, you’ll receive a grant of up to 3,000 euros.

Here’s how it works:
1. Are you a group of young people with a project idea? A good project inspires, is fun, and is exciting. Many people are involved, no one is excluded, and it’s by young people for young people.
2. Find a project partner, because you need an “umbrella” under which your activities will take place. This could be a club or the community where you live.
3. Your project will take place between May 1 and November 1, 2026.
4. Give us a call, tell us what you have in mind, and ask any questions you may have.
5. If your idea fits with “Hoch vom Sofa!”, we’ll come to you so we can get to know each other. We’ll introduce ourselves and learn a bit about your group. After that, we’ll discuss it, and if everything works out, you can get started on
your project right away. So don’t hesitate—get in touch with us!
